The man behind the scheme, Kim Dotcom, says he has a dream to build the 400 million dollar cable for his own company, with the bonus of free access for individual customers, and a reduced charge to business and government.

The idea has won some support in New Zealand with Paul Brislen, from the country's Telecommunications Users Association, saying it would be a huge boost for the country.
